We will be having round 4 on Sat 2nd August with the David Blair Memorial Endurnace race on the Sunday.

This event is being run in memory of David (Gengy) Blair who was the instigator of Motard mag and someone who was very keen to see Supermoto progress forward in the UK. He sadly died in 2006 after a battle with cancer. The event will be a team event over 3hrs with most laps winning.

As part of the fund raising we will be auctioning off some good prices including a pair of weekend passes to Knockhill BSB with KTM hospitality.

Its a more relaxed event and a perfect oppourtunity to have a go if you have access to a bike.

Right oh, I am trying to get some more interest in this and was wondering if any of you lot might be interested in competing.

Plan would be to use my bike but we would need to give it a break between turns as I dont think it would last the 3hrs. Very slim chance of winning in any case as theres a team with two good ex-motox guys who are fit as hell.

Cost per team is £100 and you can have upto 3 people in the team. We will only be running the short dirt section so dont worry too much about that, its hard packed anyway so pretty grippy.

Used to ride offroad when I was wee(er), had a KX250 before it was nicked

No idea if i'd be any good on the dirt now, waaay to used to tarmac!

If nobody else is up for this, I could give it a bash!

Definately try Zax, Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian), Mal and co first though, sure they'd do a better job

I might be home for that .
Can you mark me down as a provisional yes .

I will have to check with the oficial events planner but will ge back to you.

I have checked with teh planner an that day is free ..

So I am in 100%

Just looking for interest right now. If there one of the regular guys on his own then I'll just team up with him. If thats the case I could still let someone else have a shot as a team of three, at least then my bike will get a decent break.

As I said dont worry too much about dirt its only about 30m in length with one small table top jump.

Mmnn might be up for this Graeme are you allowed on track with zip together 2 piece leathers ?

This short dirt section wouldnt be the same short section you fell off on ?

Hope its dry

Yes zip together 2 piece is fine. Normal road riding kit is generally ok but sturdier boots would be recommeneded.

I'd be up for that if I can get hold of some boots before then.

If you want a bike that will run for 3 hours without a break then may I suggest the you use Mal's XT!!

If Graeme stays off the bike you might stand a good chance of completing the 3 hours!

Cheeky barsteward, thats you bottom of the list..

Dont think the XT's would quite cut it TBH.

I can't make the 3rd as the First on Scene/First Aid Course is on the same day.

Got Friday off so I might be heading down to the track. If you guys are off it might be a good chance to have a go before the 3rd. Should only be me and one or two others.

working Friday so wont make it but I was out for a practice last night on the pants road

I might be available on teh friday ! I have to juggle a few things around but it should be ok.

Zax, Im heading down the road tomorrow night to get my stuff ready. Probably heading down to the track for about noon. If your coming down give me a shout but dont worry to much if you cannot make it.

Mal / Zax - Just to let you know the money raised was £1380 and it has gone towards the Heart of Fife riding group that offer disabled kids the oppourtunity to ride horses in a controlled environment.

They were needing a hoist for the kids so our money is going to that.

Good work for all involved in the fund raising, I even donated a few broken ribs for the cause

I am still impressed that we were not last as even with broken ribs you were lapping faster in your last stint than you did in the middle one
